The Town of Inverness c1824
The Town of Inverness. Drawn on the Spot by I. Clark. London, Published by Smith & Elder, Fenchurch Street, 1824. Hand-coloured etching and aquatint. Plate approx 475 x 629mm (18¾ x 24¾") External displayed mount approx size: 525mm x 700mm (20.75 x 27.75) From Clark’s ‘Views of Scotland’ contemporary hand coloured, wide margins, marginal toning from frame, light foxing. Inverness, in the Scottish Highlands, where the River Ness enters the Moray Firth, from the "Views in Scotland" series. The plates are signed I.Clark but it is generally accepted that these views are the work of the Scottish artist John Heaviside Clark, 1771-1836. He was a prolific artist, aquatinter and engraver, sometimes known as Waterloo Clark due to the sketches he made on the field directly after the Battle of Waterloo. He was also skilled in aquatinting, and certainly none of this series has a named engraver. However he is most famous for his engravings of Scottish towns and cities, admired both for the highly accurate attention to detail and the clarity and softness of aesthetics. The accuracy of the view has historical importance as it documents the radical changes being made to the landscape, a result of industrialisation, population growth and migration. Note to Buyer: As found, previously not conservation mounted so slight overall tone, and discolouration to the verso of the sheet. This exceptional aquatint print needs to be conservation mounted, framed and glazed. A genuine antique print over 190 years old.

John Hill (1770-1849) began his career as an aquatint engraver of landscapes in his native London, publishing a series of views after the paintings of J.M.W. Turner and others. He immigrated to the U.S. in 1816 and continued engraving for the next 20 years, first in Philadelphia and later in New York. Hill is well known for his pair of New York City prints New York From Weehawk and the companion view New York from Heights near Brooklyn after views by William Guy Wall (1792-1864). He also did the engravings after views by Wall for the Hudson River Portfolio (1821-1825), a set of 20 hand-colored aquatint views along over 200 miles of the Hudson River, from New York City to the Adirondacks. Published by Henry J. Megarey in New York with text by John Agg, the Hudson River prints are considered amongst the finest produced in 19th-century America. Hill is also renowned for his 20 hand colored aquatint views after paintings by Joshua Shaw published between 1820 and 1821 in what is familiarly called The Landscape Album. His son and grandson, John William Hill and John Henry Hill, also became noted landscape painters. John Claude Nattes (c. 1765-1822) was a topographical painter and draftsman. He lived and worked in London and Edinburgh. There is no know birth records for Nattes and it is thought he may have been French or Irish. He was the pupil of Irish artist H.P. Deane and he also made many trips to France diring his life. In addition to being a painter, Nattes was also a drawing master, print dealer, and founding member of the Old Watercolour Society, from which he was expelled in 1807 for submitting other artists' work under his name. Nattes regularly exhibited a the Royal Academy from 1780. A genuine antique print over 200 years old.
